Need help with 7.3L powerstroke. anyone have scanner
 

I am in Trenton

I bought 00 F350 7.3L so have issues with run rough and hard start.

Engine light is ON so I tried my scanner it say nothing codes on but there engine light ON.

PO replace so many parts on engine that confused me. On quick rev there TONS blue smoke but if you do slow rev almost no smoke or little blue smoke.

Very hard start. Have 1 bad glow plugs.

I have an SCT, how far away are we? I'm fairly new to the area.

Is it drivable? What has been done to it? How many miles? If the CEL is on you have codes. If the PO was throwing parts at it he must have been guessing, and that gets expensive and usually causes more problems.
If you can get it to me I have scanners that can do a buzz test and cylinder contriburion test, and I'm in South Lyon

Makes me wonder if the valve cover wiring harness has some goofs. Not too hard to check and it is a beer drinking sport.

I end order AE scanner but everybody live far away.

I don't trust this truck to be on highway. It will drive but sometime you push more on gas it POUR BLACK smoke.

It have very bad hesitance and shake when Rev.

It only had 210K miles. Everybody told me it low compression I don't believe because it run too good at idle. Have 8 dead glow plugs.


CEL is on when crank and run. I am going check that truck with AE scanner today. Just got AE last night.

Was a compression test done with a guage, if not it a guess......... and most times a guess is wrong. With 210k the original injectors will be near the end of there life cycle. Post the codes you get.

It guess because it idle very good for 210K miles. But it misfire shake when in gear.


Will go get codes in couple hours. Truck in Monroe.

Got new codes again

P1284

Can't rev anymore or it blow smoke badly.

I look at ICP connector it been cover in oil.

I have a 2003 F350 dually i bought off a friend. it does the exact same thing. if i start it everyday it is ok, but just ok, still have to run for a while before it runs good. if you dont let it warm up for a long time and you try to drive it, it viberates very bad at times. no matter how hard you press the peddle the responce can very from not much when cold, to normal when ran a while. a while being 20 min, maybe longer. I used my dads edge programmer to adjust increase HP and it did help, but not enough. I unplugged the injector harness one at a time while running and when i unplugged the passenger side it died, so i knew my rough "running/idle" is mostly from the driver side. i replaced the injector harness as they are known to burn up. Still rough run/idle. it appears to me that i have an injector or multiple injectors bad on the drivers side. given i have 260,000 miles they are all probably limping along. given the rough starts i would guess injector O rings are bad allowing fuel to leak off. O rings may by time, but limited time. I hate to purchase 8 new injectors. any one have any advice? used to be able to purchase rebuild kits for them, can you still and where? anyone have any experience with aftermarket injectors? will an injector buzz test confirm my thoughts about needing injectors 100%? I will pass along anything i discover. my last thought is, can a person take the valve cover off and unplug one injector at a time to see if there is a performance difference? i know oil will go everywhere, but does anyone see a negative affect this would have. then i could pin point the exact injectors and just replace them for the time being, before i replace them all. test like spark plugs on a gas car. if no performace difference when unplugged then that one(s) are bad.

Mine had bad PCM, 6 bad injectors. They work great when it warm up. Cold it still miss and rough. Now it running great but tiny rough but it Michigan winter here.


Cheapest reman injectors I trust. Riffraff Diesel: Stock Rebuilt Injectors

sorry came into this thread just now. These are coddes from guzzles website. Welcome to guzzle's Diagnostic Trouble Code list Web Page

I live very closr to you
 

I'm within 5-6 miles of you. I have Scangauge 2, Edge Evolution CTS, & Auto Enginuity for the Ford stuff. Let me know if I can help you out. I'd be happy to helip you out if I can.

You hiding in here with the beer Rich?

No but I've been wondering where Milwaukee has been lately......

Liar! I found the beer.

That's cuz you put it in your beer fridge dummy

No, you hid it under Milwaukee's truck.

That would explain why it wasn't running right 4 years ago

Not to mention all the bad advice he got. No wonder he's gone. Speaking of which, I see John2001 around the other parts of FTE, he just said "I never left FTE just the chapter." So obviously you pissed him off.

Apparently I do that.....

Man! I just wanted to be their friend:(

Not sure why he left. Maybe we picked on the Dodge too much.

Dan? Wow where you been? What happened to your AE? I'm usually out in flat rock every other Sunday and happen to be this Sunday. I'd be more then willing to stop by and lend a hand. Since you've been gone awhile look at my signature.... She's gone

Scratch all that. I still have his number. Text message sent

Hey John, this is an old thread that got drug up from Mikes Boredom. Hopefully it hasn't been giving Mil and issue since 2011......

Jump in the threads every now and then. Haven't seen you around.....

i'm looking forward to hearing Dan's response. :-missingt

I guess I should have paid attention... Damn you Mike :-X19 :-drink

he's got to be scratching his head right about now.

I'm been hanging out in the 7.3 section mostly and learning more about the set up I'm going to be running soon :)

Edit. No one pissed me off lol I just don't have time to read through 17 pages every day to get caught back up lol the little dodge can handle it's own.... Just ask the brand new chebbie that tried to walk it the other day at a red light. That guy was mad....

Good deal John....

What's this "new project" you speak of......

I have an inherent ability to turn ANY thread into a BS thread.

I got a reply and I blamed Mike with a link to the thread lol.

I'm planning on adding some fuel and some air since I still have the little 6 cylinder. Since I don't have the funds to do the other project I want to do that involves a smaller 6 cylinder and an F100

Sure blame Mike.

really dude, you know it's your fault....

Hey just because Dodge guys can't read...

It's not Mike's fault, he was born that way

M -meaningless
I - irrelevant
K - known
E - error

Sorry Mike you made it too easy :-drink

Reps sent John :-jammin

Nothing runs like a Deers, nothing smells like a John.
